This hotel is located close to Roma St. Station. Also right in the CBD. The room I stayed in was called a 'petite double' and as the name suggests, it was quite compact but was clean and had everything I needed. Male staff person was just ok at reception when I checked in late at night (8.30pm) but the staff... More

We took a last minute trip to Brisbane and found a little gem. The George William used to be the YMCA, so the rooms are compact and fairly basic, but that's all we were looking for. The bed was very comfortable, quiet air con, shower was piping hot, plenty of fresh linen, courteous & helpful staff and a very nice... More

3 of us stayed here because our usual hotel was full. Very small rooms, uncomfortable beds, aircom was freezing and could not be adjusted. Reception was surly, with even the breakfast needing to be prepaid. At AUD 195 it may be cheap by central Brisbane standards, but most suburban motels would be superior. More

Couldn't find a room in Brisbane CBD for under $250 so booked a petite twin at HGW direct for one night at AUD$135 including breakfast for two. I was somewhat apprehensive after reading mixed reviews but was in fact pleasantly surprised. The room was small (but as described) but clean and adequate and it even had a bath. Room 701... More

Although the rooms are small and the hotel is slightly dated I must admit it is very clean and I was impressed that when I asked for an iron and ironing board it was up on the 7th floor with a knock at the door within a minute. More

On 1st impressions I was excited about staying here for a night, but once we got settled into our room it all changed. The bathroom was stinking like someone had done a number 2 on the middle of the floor. The room got very hot and stuffy, then once I went to put the air con on it didn't work... More

Stayed here for a business trip because it was in a convenient location. Checked in, handed over my AMEX, paid for the room and expected them to retain the details for charging meals etc., as does nearly every other hotel on the planet. Went and had dinner, asked for it to be charged to the room, told I needed a... More

Stayed in the superior queen room. Well presented, clean and plenty of space. Close walking distance to central station, the mall and restaurants. Parking at the hotel was an issue. There was no drop off area and no clear signs as to where it was. The restaurant down stairs was very disappointing and let's the hotel down. We had breakfast... More
